My man's gone now
Ain't no use a listenin'
For his tired footsteps
Climbin' up the stairs
N.C
Old man sorrow's
Come to keep me company
Whisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers
N.C.
He come around
He come up, he come around
Ain't that I mind workin'
Workin' means travelers
Journeyin' together
To the promised land
{Outro} (Freely)
But old man sorrow
Mountin' all the way with me
Tellin' me that I'm old now
Since I lose my man
Since I lose my man
N.C.
Since I lose my man
